CASIS: Science in Space for Life on Earth

The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) is the sole manager of the International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory. CASIS: Science in Space for Life on Earth is an exhibit that educates guests on how CASIS works with the ISS to run scientific experiments in space. It is also a celebration of the impact of CASIS and the ISS on science here on Earth.

CASIS: Science in Space for Life on Earth is housed in the Core Module Integration Simulator (CMIS), which is Martin-Marietta’s (now known as Lockheed Martin) mock-up for their entry for Space Station Freedom in the 1980s.

This exhibit features a timeline of historical and fictional space stations, a look at life inside the ISS and a live tracker of its location in space.

Thank you to CASIS for the generous donation to make this exhibit possible.
